That's really something that she's still tame after all this time.
Birdsworth!

Birdsworth is what I named a baby sparrow I found near-dead on the side of my house and nursed to health. She became my first pet bird in recent years, and got me back into the pet bird thing.
It was pretty amazing she even made it, the poor thing was busted up bad and I had to force feed her a couple times before she could eat normally.
I haven't seen her in months and just recently made a remark about her being an ingrate for not visiting.
So there's a line of sparrows on my fence, when I go out to take the garbage out. One of them was looking like it wanted to dart at me with her head down, so for the heck of it I whistled, and that was all the coaxing she needed. Flew right to my hand like old times.
That made my day.
Here's Birdsworth, btw. (two pics and vid)

Wow. It's been months and I really thought she was done with humanity for good, but I must say this was touching. Um. In a very masculine kind of way...

Wow.. Really, just wow. That's really something, Joe. It kind of makes me want to go out, find a baby sparrow, and raise it.
Looks like you got a real good friend, there.

Thats great!
What a cute story, the little sparrow must have loved you.
And i bet it sure was grateful for you to raise it back to it's full health.
It was good of you to take the sparrow in and let it regain it's health, then let it go. Good job.
